Always keep your mobile phone with you and wait for the confirmation SMS before going to collect your money.

Steps to Receive BISP Payment
To make sure your payment is received easily and safely, follow these steps carefully:
- Wait for an SMS from 8171 before going to collect your money
- Go only to official BISP campsites
- Carry your original CNIC for biometric verification
- Do not go to shops, retailers, or agents
Once your identity is confirmed through fingerprint scanning, you will be given your payment on the spot. This system keeps the process safe and prevents fraud or errors. If you face any problems or didn’t receive the SMS, visit the official website 8171.bisp.gov.pk to check your payment status.
New BISP Digital Wallet System
The government is working on a digital wallet system to make the BISP payment process faster and more secure. With this new system, women will receive their money directly into a mobile wallet. This will work just like Easypaisa or JazzCash. This means women won’t have to visit a camp or stand in long lines.
Some benefits of the digital wallet include:
- Quick transfer of money
- Secure and transparent process
- No need to travel or wait at campsites
- Direct control over your own funds
The official launch date has not been shared yet, but it is expected soon. Keep checking updates on the BISP official website.
Taleemi Wazaif Payments with Kafalat
Many women are also receiving Taleemi Wazaif payments for their children’s education along with the Kafalat payments. These are small amounts given to help families pay for school expenses. If you are eligible, both payments will be given together at the BISP campsite.
When you go to collect your money:
- Ask the officer if your Taleemi Wazaif is also available
- Check the receipt to see both amounts clearly
- If the Wazaif payment is missing, follow up later
To keep receiving Wazaif, make sure your children attend school regularly and their records are up to date in the BISP system.
Important Tips for Beneficiaries
It’s important to stay alert and follow the official instructions. Many people try to collect money without proper verification or visit wrong places. Avoid these common mistakes:
- Don’t go without receiving the SMS from 8171
- Never share your CNIC number or fingerprint with anyone else
- Check your payment details on 8171.bisp.gov.pk
If you feel something is wrong or you are asked to pay a fee, immediately report it to the BISP helpline or visit their office.
